Toronto police are asking parents to warn their kids about strangers after they received three separate complaints this month about children being approached in Scarborough.
On June 3, children at a school near Kingston and McCowan roads said they were approached by a man and woman, who asked them to go for a car ride.
Later that day, after school, two men in a van reportedly drove up to a child on a bike and asked him if he wanted to play video games with them in the van.
Then on June 8, a child was walking to school in the same area, when he said he was approached by a man and asked if he needed a ride.
In all three cases, the children declined and immediately told a teacher and police. No one was harmed.
The first vehicle was a gold, silver or brown four-door and the man and woman had black hair.
The second was an older-model white cube van with a sliding door. The driver and passenger were white men, aged 40 to 50. One was bald with a beard and black pants. The other had spiked black hair, blue jeans and a grey T-shirt with a skull on the front.
The third was a white van with no windows in the back. The driver was a white man in his 40s with a “man bun.”
Police are asking anyone with information to call them at 416-808-4300 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
